Daddy's Princess (Darkiplier x Reader)

t h i r t y - o n e.

"I will make you deeply regret your words."

You fearfully gripped the chair underneath as Dark's hands firmly clamped around your shoulders. His eyes bore into yours as they grew dark. He stepped back and calmly motioned for you to stand up. You shakily stood as his posture was intimidating.

"Come with me, and DON'T try anything, Princess. You do not want to make this any worse."

You did as you were told and shamefully followed him down the hall and into a room. He locked the door behind him with a wave of his finger. He slowly and teasingly turned around to face you, a wide grin plastered to his face.

"What should I do first?" He questioned as his eyes raced over your body. Your resolve never staggered as he looked at you as if you were a piece of meat and him a hungry predator. He walked up to where you were standing and tilted his head slightly to the side as his eyes scanned your face. "You aren't sacred, why is that? You normally are trembling with fear or excitement."

"You underestimate me."

"Clearly I have. But, you underestimate me." Suddenly, he lifted his hand and sent it into your chest. His hand seemed to phase through your body as you let out a gasp of pain and surprise. His fingers wrapped around your heart and he squeezed tightly, causing you to shriek with unbearable pain as your body panicked. "Not so brave now, huh?" He teased as he squeezed your heart some more. "Just think, one little muscle spasm and I could rip your heart out," his words dripped venom and evil. All of a sudden, he let go of your heart and retrieved his hand from your body.

"But I would never do that to you," he said as his head hung low. He mumbled to himself for a few moments before lifting his eyes to you. "You're changing me."

Your eyes widened as that realization sunk in. You, in fact, were changing him. Dark was a ruthless, manipulative demon and here he is bending at the will of you- an introverted, kind human. Your power over him had grown way larger than you had realized or intended, but some part of you enjoyed it. Maybe the bond between the two of you allowed his powers of manipulation to be shared with you. Whatever it was, you were thankful for it.

"I'm going to go lay down for a bit. I don't feel like myself. Feel free to join me," Dark said as he left the room.

You stood amazed and confused at everything that had just happened. You had just stopped a demon from ruthlessly killing you. You had more power than you thought. Almost instantly, your mind went to the seven girls Dark had mentioned. You felt guilty as you realized you were celebrating your survival when they didn't get that chance. But, who's to say they were dead? Dark never said they were dead. They might still be alive. But where? How would you find them? Dark would be angry if you asked him. Suddenly, within all this brainstorming, an idea hit you. If you could use Dark's manipulative power against him, wouldn't you be able to use his mind reading in the same way? It would be a risky endeavor, but if he was sleeping, there would be less chance of him knowing. You decided you needed to see if you could actually do it before waltzing into Dark's room. You sat down on the floor and focused on Dark. You turned every thought onto him and filled your mind with him. A small noise started in the back of your mind, and, as you concentrated more, you were able to discern what it was saying.

"Why did that happen? I am not who I once was. Maybe if I sleep for a little while I'll feel like myself again."

The words were distant and almost inaudible, but you celebrated in your ability to hear his thoughts. You waited about ten minutes before silently approaching the bedroom door. Pressing your ear against the door, you listened for any sounds of movement. After not hearing anything, you quietly turned the door knob and opened the door wide enough for you to slip into before closing it behind you. You saw Dark asleep on the bed and noted that he looked so peaceful, a state you had never seen him in. Silently slipping to the side of the bed, you sat down on the floor and began your concentration process. Every fiber in your being was tuned towards him; every thought about him. Again, you heard words in the back of your mind, but you weren't concerned with his dreams. You needed to see his memories and the information inside about the girls. You focused on Dark and his memories, but there seemed to be some sort of wall blocking you from them.

"Maybe if I get closer to him, I'll be able to see them," you thought to yourself as you arose from your position on the floor and paced over the other side of the bed and slid under the covers. You scooted closer to Dark and nonchalantly wrapped your arms around his neck. He awoke just long enough for him to wrap his arms tightly around your waist and kiss your cheek before falling back asleep. You waited a few moments before placing your fingers around his head and concentrating on him. You heard the words in the back of your mind again, but this time you could see images play through your mind like a movie.

You saw a beautiful girl before you. She smiled as she saw you and ran towards you, her arms open for a hug. She jumped into your embrace, but suddenly, everything turned dark. The bright sunshine that characterized this scene as joyful disappeared, leaving only darkness in its path. You looked down and saw that you held a knife inside the girl. She looked down and saw it as well before looking up and locking eyes with you.

"D-Damien? Why?" She breathed out before collapsing. You felt hot tears fall down your face as the memory faded.

You removed your hands from his head for a moment to gather your bearings, taking deep breaths as if you had experienced a nightmare.

"So he has killed at least one of them. Is it even worth looking for the others? They may be dead too. And who's Damien? Is that his real name?" Your own thoughts clouded your mind as you were very confused. You figured you'd get your answers in his mind, so you out your fingers back on his head and closed your eyes to concentrate.

You quickly learned how to sift through memories and realized how much more efficient that was. You searched through quite a few memories before you finally found the ones you were looking for. Instead of seeing a movie this time, you saw their information and pictures of them. Realizing Dark was moving  underneath you, you tried to quickly memorize everything you saw as you "flipped" through each girl and retained the information. Opening your eyes, you saw that he had wrapped himself around you in his sleep and was in a deep sleep. You released a sigh of relief and felt determination fill you as you realized what you had to do. You had to find these girls.
